How Riddlen Works

Riddlen is a Proof-of-Solve game built on Web3, where intelligence—not computing power—is the key to earning. It replaces energy-hungry mining with puzzle-solving and community-driven content. Here’s how it works:

1. Game Sessions Powered by NFTs

Each riddle session is a unique NFT, generated from a pool of user-submitted and algorithmically selected puzzles. When you start a session, you mint or activate a Riddle NFT that contains:

A randomized mix of questions: multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and image recognition
3–5 progressively difficult phases
A strict timer for each question and round
A capped number of winners

2. Solve to Earn

To win RDLN tokens and earn the NFT:

Connect your wallet
Start a riddle session
Answer all questions correctly, within the time limits

Each correct answer moves you forward. Complete all phases and you're one of the winners.

3. What Happens When You Fail?

If you answer incorrectly, the Burn Protocol activates—a small penalty fee (in RDLN) is deducted, increasing with each failed attempt using the Fibonacci sequence.

These fees are split:

50% Burned forever
25% to the Grand Prize Pool
25% to Development

4. Prize Pools & Winners

Each Riddle NFT includes a fixed RDLN prize pool divided among a maximum number of winners. Example:

Prize Pool: 1,000,000 RDLN
Max Winners: 100 → each winner earns 10,000 RDLN
Only 60 solve it? Remaining 400,000 RDLN follows burn protocol: 50% Burn, 20% LP, 20% Contributors, 10% Reserve

5. Earning the NFT

You only receive the Riddle NFT if you finish all puzzle phases correctly. It becomes a collectible and tradeable asset, with secondary market value.

6. Strategic Tips

Speed and accuracy matter—every second counts
Choosing lesser-known categories may improve your odds of winning
Early players in a riddle have a competitive edge

Riddlen is designed to challenge, reward, and scale with human intelligence. Solve for tokens, solve for fun, solve to win.
